The sun has finally made its triumphant return! Naturally, the best way to celebrate is by plunging headlong into the nearest pool (ideally yours). Before you do, though, it’s worth considering your decor options first. Whether it’s a luxe lounger or a pouf with playful patterns, there’s a myriad of poolside furnishings to choose from. In many ways, this is the place in the backyard where you can really cut loose and experiment with color and shape, creating a vignette with a carefree, tropical vibe. Or there’s the more minimalist route, with clean lines and plush neutral fabrics.

However you decide to dress up your poolside, it’s a spot in the backyard that’s guaranteed to get a lot of foot traffic come summer—so why not make it look fabulous? Here, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorites that bring poolside glam to your backyard, even if an IRL pool isn’t in the cards this year. Ready to dive in?
